Ultherapy is an FDA-cleared, non-surgical skin lifting treatment that uses focused ultrasound energy to stimulate natural collagen production deep within the skin. It targets the SMAS layer, the same layer addressed in surgical facelifts, but without incisions, injections, or downtime.
How Ultherapy Works
Ultherapy uses ultrasound therapy to penetrate deeper than other non-invasive treatments for stimulating collagen production. It also incorporates traditional ultrasound imaging, allowing our doctors to view the tissue layers they are treating. This precision ensures that the treatment energy is delivered exactly where it is most beneficial with amazing accuracy.
Areas That Can Be Treated with Ultherapy:
Ultherapy effectively targets multiple areas of the face and body to lift, tighten, and rejuvenate the skin, including:
-
Neck: Reduces sagging and improves contour
-
Under the Chin: Lifts and defines the jawline
-
Brow Area: Elevates drooping eyebrows for a more open-eye appearance
-
Jawline: Firms and contours sagging jowls
-
Décolletage (Upper Chest): Smooths fine lines and wrinkles
-
Lower Face: Tightens mild to moderate laxity around cheeks and mouth

What to Expect During Ultherapy Treatment
Pre-Treatment
Your Ultherapy experience begins with a doctor consultation. We examine your skin, understand your concerns, and design a personalized lifting plan. Treatment areas are mapped to ensure accurate and even energy delivery.
During Treatment
On the day of your procedure:
-
Your skin is cleansed, and a thin layer of ultrasound gel is applied.
-
The doctor uses the Ultherapy device to deliver focused ultrasound energy to precise depths.
-
You may feel warmth or tingling as collagen stimulation begins.
-
Treatment time ranges from 40–90 minutes, depending on the areas treated.
Post-Treatment
There is no downtime. You can return to daily activities right away. Mild redness, swelling, or tenderness may appear temporarily and usually resolves quickly.
Your skin gradually becomes firmer and more lifted over the following weeks, with full results developing in 2–3 months.
Ultherapy Outcome Timeline
Ultherapy works by activating your skin’s natural collagen production, creating gradual, natural-looking lifting and tightening.
Timeline of Results
-
Immediate: A subtle lift may be noticeable right after treatment.
-
2–6 Weeks: Your skin begins to feel firmer as new collagen starts forming.
-
2–3 Months: Optimal lifting and contouring appear as collagen rebuilds deep within the skin.
How Long Results Last
Ultherapy results typically last 12–18 months, depending on your skin quality, age, and lifestyle factors.
Maintenance
Most clients choose a yearly touch-up to maintain firmness and keep their skin looking lifted and refreshed.

Ultherapy Safety and Side Effects
Ultherapy is one of the safest non-surgical lifting procedures in the world. It uses ultrasound energy that has been clinically studied and FDA cleared for skin tightening.
Why Ultherapy Is Considered Safe
-
Non-surgical technology: No cuts, injections, or sutures are involved.
-
Controlled delivery: Ultrasound guidance allows practitioners to view the skin layers and deliver energy exactly where needed.
-
Clinically validated: The device is cleared by global regulatory bodies and supported by extensive clinical research.
-
Performed by experts: At The Cosmo Clinic, only trained aesthetic doctors carry out Ultherapy treatments to ensure accuracy and comfort.
Possible Side Effects
Most people experience little to no downtime. Some temporary effects may include:
-
Light redness or mild swelling
-
Tenderness when touching the treated area
-
Slight tingling or sensitivity as the skin responds to energy
-
Rarely, temporary numbness that resolves on its own
These effects typically fade quickly and do not interfere with daily activities.
Ultherapy vs. Other Non-Surgical Lifting Treatments
Several non-invasive technologies are used today to lift and tighten the skin, but each works differently. Understanding these differences can help you choose the most suitable option for your goals.
Ultherapy
Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound energy to reach deeper support layers of the skin, including the SMAS, the same layer treated in a surgical facelift. This allows for noticeable lifting and firmer contours with results that continue to improve for months. Most clients enjoy visible benefits for 12–18 months.
HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound)
Although HIFU also uses ultrasound, it does not offer real-time imaging, making its depth and precision more variable. It is often chosen for general tightening rather than targeted lifting. Results typically last 6–12 months, depending on the device.
Radiofrequency Treatments (e.g., Thermage)
Radiofrequency works by heating the skin’s superficial layers to stimulate collagen. It is excellent for smoothing texture and improving firmness, especially in areas with more thickness or mild laxity. While results may last 12–24 months, RF treatments usually provide tightening rather than a lifting effect.

Ultherapy results typically last 12–18 months, depending on your skin condition, age, and lifestyle. Maintenance sessions may be recommended to prolong results
2. What age is best for Ultherapy?
Ultherapy is most effective for people in their 30s to 60s who notice mild to moderate skin laxity. Younger patients may also use it as a preventive treatment.
3. How many shots are in Ultherapy?
The number of ultrasound “shots” depends on the area being treated and the degree of skin laxity. A full-face and neck session may involve 200–500 shots, while smaller areas require fewer.
4. How many times can you get Ultherapy?
Ultherapy can be safely repeated once a year, or as advised by your doctor. Some patients benefit from maintenance sessions every 12–18 months.
5. How soon will I see results?
Some patients notice a slight tightening immediately after treatment. Full results appear gradually over 2–3 months as collagen production increases.
